WORKSHEET 2 – REDOX AND ELECTROCHEMICAL CELLS

Balance the following equations by REDOX or using two half-cell reactions. Which undergoes oxidation
and reduction? Which is the oxidizing agent? Reducing agent?

1. HCl + K2Cr2O7  KCl + CrCl3 + H2O + Cl

2. FeCl2 + KMnO4 + HCl  FeCl3 + KCl + MnCl2 + H2O

3. S2 + MnO 4 S + MnO (basic

2 solution)
4. CuS + NO 3  Cu2+ + S + NO (acidic)

5. Cr + ClO 4  CrO  2+ ClO (basic)

Answer the following problems. Show your solution

6. Write the cell notation for the voltaic cell with the following half reactions:
Cd(s)  Cd2+(aq) + 2e−
Pb2+(aq) + 2e−  Pb(s)

7. Consider the following voltaic cell:

Cd(s) | Cd2+(aq) || Ni2+(aq) | Ni(s)
Write the half-cell reactions and the overall reaction.

8. It was observed that a tin-plated steel corrodes faster than an uncoated steel can. Galvanic corrosion
mostly occurs in a nonstandard conditions. Assume that you wish to explore the galvanic corrosion
of tin-plated steel by building a cell with ions of low concentrations. Metallic iron and tin are your
electrodes. You also have solutions of SnCl2 and Fe (NO3)2 with concentrations of 0.05 M and
0.01M respectively. Calculate the cell potential.
9. Given the electrochemical reaction shown, what is the standard free energy change ΔG° if E° =
+1.61 V?
Mg / Mg 2+(aq) // Zn2+(aq) / Zn E° = +1.61 V

10. What is E° for the following balanced reaction, if K=4.38 x 10 10?

Zn(s) + Fe2+(aq) → Zn+2(aq) + Fe(s)

 11. The oxidation of methanol, as described by the equation below, has a ΔG° value of –937.9 kJ/mol.
What is the standard cell potential for a methanol fuel cell?

2CH3OH + 3O2 → 2 CO2 + 4H2O ΔG° = –937.9 kJ/mol
